So the greatest common factor 32,944,462 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,96,385
2 | 78, 96, 385 |
3 | 39, 48, 385 |
13, 16, 385 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 16 x 385 = 480480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/480480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 32/78,944/96,462/385 is 2/480480
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 78,96,385 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,96,385) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(78,96,385) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(78,96,385) = ( 78 × 96 × 385 ) / 6
LCM(78,96,385) = 2882880 / 6
LCM(78,96,385) = 480480
